as windows xp gets older it's also gotten harder to find a good solid antivirus that works on it and this topic should help clear things up in this post I will be listing and researching the different antivirus for windows and post them here for anyone to download (inspired by the antivirus thread on msfn)

after doing a little bit of research I found this page by AVG (a subsidiary of avast) https://www.avg.com/en-us/windows-xp-antivirus#android which is the windows xp support page for avg antivirus as well as the download for the last version on windows xp (it only gets definition updates thou)

as well as malwarebytes anti-malware for windows xp https://archive.org/details/malwarebytes_for_win_xp#ia-carousel (you have to download it from archive.org now as the original download is gone and I can't find the original page for it)

and clamwin seems like the better option to any of these (it's open source I think) and supports everything down to windows 95 https://clamwin.com/
